Laurie Henes Interview says Katelyn wouldnt want to tell people she’s sick

You guys have had a long run and will probably be able to keep this up for a little longer, but if you use "Valby fans" or "Tuohy fans" in a post you are immediately known to be at best a semi-deranged super fan or most likely a stale troll.

Thanks for pointing all this out so I could go back and watch. And wow, those other two girls were charging hard on Stephens, she just barely hung on to get to the line <0.1 seconds ahead of them.

We have not touched on more important topics such as masks and vaccines yet. The length of discussions in this thread will be like from the river to the sea…

wow

I know this may be difficult to process, but there are some illnesses that aren't contagious. I'm going to assume whatever she had, there was no worry about impacting her fellow competitors. You have no idea what her ailment was, unless Katelyn Tuohy decided that she'd sign a HIPAA waiver and allow you access to her PHI.

In this weeks Blue Oval Podcast (should show up on YT) TSR discusses the race, and they had someone on scene who observed Tuohy and NC St post race. Worth a listen.

Excellent podcast, as always. (I really have no idea why they have so few subscribers and viewers on their YT channel over the years, it shocks me actually).

some nice coverage of runners further back in back - Stephens of NC St was barely moving in the last 100 but she finished.

Sounds like dramatization.

I am sure to you. BTW did you see the "quitter" was even with 4 runners going into the last hill (Scrimgeour, Jepkirui, Asekol, Ramsden) and put 3 seconds on them in the last ~200 as she tried to catch Hilda. Some quitter. Get a life.

I listened to that. They observed Tuohy and she was apparently "down for the count" and not well after the race. Definitely seems she was sick.

But what concerns me is that this is the 2nd NCAA championship in a row where she has landed in the med tent (for different reasons). Did they really resolve her burnout related performance issues? I still wonder if there could be Red-s or something else going on.

She quit at track, not in XC. She gave it all here. She just isn't as fast as Valby or Lemngole. And personal attacks on posters are not allowed.

You are correct. Valby looked fresh at the end as she did in every race this season. Yet, there have been accusations that she is the one who is unhealthy.

Apparently delusional, or maybe dumb. She was tightening up badly in the last K. Compare her gap on Lemngole before the last downhill/uphill and what it was at the finish.

She was fine after the US trials and after all the preceding XC races this season where she ran fast times. If it were a chronic healthy issue it would have likely manifested itself at other times. I just think she got sick at a bad time.

It is the second race in a row that happened also.

Seems that she bonks at the national meets. Is that because she cycles out of special nutrients at the times when testing is likely?

Lol. Weak.
